On this week's episode, we share our thoughts on RFK Jr.'s comments about Arab Americans, the rise in anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric, and why voting matters. Then, on a much lighter note, we get into the struggle of finding good shawarma and who exactly decided Noah Wyle was People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

Why do so many Arab families treat therapy like airing the family’s dirty laundry? And why does setting a boundary suddenly mean you’ve changed or become disrespectful?

We sat down with our friend Dr. Sarah Wahab, a licensed clinical psychologist, to talk about growing up Arab, what our parents taught us, and what we’re still trying to unlearn.

Together, we dig into the “what will people say?” mentality, parents who don’t understand boundaries, generational trauma, and guilt, and why going to therapy can make your family see you as the problem.

We also talk about how watching a genocide unfold in Gaza has affected our mental health. How do you process witnessing so much pain while still trying to function day to day?

In this episode of Obnoxiously Pleasant, we’re joined by our longtime friend Dana for a very honest, very funny conversation about friendship, personality differences, growing up, and what actually makes friendships last.

We’ve known each other for more than two decades, and somehow we’ve managed to stay close despite completely different personalities, life changes, disagreements, moves, marriages, kids, and plenty of chaos along the way.

Is there such a thing as the bare minimum in a relationship? Are there certain things that should be non-negotiable, or does everyone have their own version of what they need from a relationship? Plus, we debate whether some partners are actually partners or just another person you have to take care of.

Nothing humbles you quite like going to an Arab event and realizing you’re officially one of the aunties.
